Need HELP!

[McEdy]

I tried to get my avatar working but there is always "url is not valid"
I don't understand because it's under 6kb and has a 80x80 ...

Here the url: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/245/c/f/avatar_for_prison_architect_forums_by_mcedy1-d6kr44p.png

"The URL of the remote avatar is not valid" -.-
But thx for your quick help!

Now it will work.

[McEdy]

Wow it works
What's the trick?

[Trollitito]

Be smart.

Just kidding, some forums don't detect url images from "unknown sites" like the one i gave you (dropbox), i don't understand very well the reason, but the experience of try-fail teach us a lot. Besides that, i converted the original file from .png to .jpg which could be the problem before.

"Unknown sites" -.-
Now I have to create myself an account for a "known site" only for this dam avatar -.-

But THX for ya help!

[Trollitito]

Well, dropbox is very well knowned, what i meant (and it was the reason for me to use the " ") was the link being somehow different, probably that's why. Anyway, if you use Imageshack, you don't need an account or anything, just go there, upload an image (or use a link to one) and it will give you some links. I usually use direct link, it usually works for this kind of stuff.

And no problem.

Imageshack sound good to me
